A forum for identifying and avoiding wholly or partially non-authentic wristwatches --
including counterfeit, replica, Frankenwatches and other fake or bastardized pieces.
Our objective here is to DISCOURAGE the sales and purchase of counterfeit
wristwatch and jewelry products. It is also for helping people identify
watches that are mostly authentic, but have been: altered for personal customization,
repaired with inappropriate parts or modified to be passed off as more valuable pieces.
Including a photo of the piece you are talking about ALWAYS helps! You can learn how to post a photo here: How To Include Photos In Your Postings. 'For sale' postings, commercial solicitation and ads are not allowed. Links to Internet auctions are acceptable only if their purpose is to question the authenticity of a product or provide new clues for identifying counterfeit products. Links that appear to be 'shills' promoting the sale of counterfeit products will be deleted. Links to websites of sellers of counterfeit items are not permitted -- we know they are out there and do not need to be encouraging them by sending traffic to their sites. Privacy, additional policies and administrivia are covered in the Terms of Use.
: what model is this omega and is it real.
Looks like a real 2531.80 James Bond Seamaster--best I can tell from those limited quality photos.
: Is it worth $500 bucks, because its in
: "fair" condition. But most
"Fair" usually is NOT that good. That is one step up from "Poor." Also notice the seller says nothing about its mechanical condition and makes no comment or guarantees that the watch is running accurately.
: WHere i get it checked out once i buy it?
Why cheap out on buying a watch then have to pay someone else to check it out for you to see if you screwed yourself. Sounds like a poor plan to me.
Based on the kind of questions you are asking, you sound like enough of a novice at this that you really shouldn't be trying to buy on eBay. Save up your money and buy one in excellent condition from a known reputable used watch dealer who guarantees the authenticity, condition and running of the piece.
